MILEPOSTS

Tomorrow we start a flying trip to see my oldest nephew married off. She's a sweetheart and hey, I finally get a niece. That's the good part. We're also taking as many of our comforts as we can squeeze into the car, because to be honest spending seven or eight hours in a car was fun, about twenty years ago.

One thing I can count on. In spite of all the extra litter boxes Lucky will meet us as the door and make it very, very clear that all is not well in her little corner of the world. Too bad all our problems can't be solved with a pooper scooper.
